Got all the achievements except for 5 star on all case. Now I can quit until next ADDON.

Got 100% complete. Just 2 more easy achievements to do. I'm skipping the one for all cases at 5 stars. F that. You can't even skip the text or cut scenes.

Finding all 95 cars was a bitch even with tons of help. This version of the game had the worst car collection vs. GTA where you could go find parked set cars. This one requires you to reload the game over and over until the right cars spawn.

90/95 cars. Finding the cars is such a bitch compared to GTA games. Sometimes you find them and they disappear as you go to get in. Every damn car looks the same too. The differences are so minor. What a bitch.

Beat the Naked City case. Pretty decent for an add-on. Now I just have like 6 more achievements to do.

Check out the voice Cast. That's the biggest voice cast for a Video game I've ever seen. I didn't realize they had 4 Mad Men stars. Something like 150 voice actors. It would take an hour to even look at them all. Also the guys look just like their pictures. But none of the girls look anything like it.

I bought the DLC pass. I beat the Traffic Case but one warning, there's 2-3 achievements that they don't warn you about and you have to REPLAY THE WHOLE THING to get them if you miss the 1 second you can earn them. So stupid. I'm up to 815 points. Highest on my list

I beat it. I'm not really happy with the ending. The fighting up to the end was cool but the final stuff didn't seem that cool.

I'm at 97% complete. Still missing 21 vehicles.

If you want to beat all the street crimes, just load up CASES -> Then go free roam on the 4 options. Once you load, you can see the street crimes you're missing and play them. It took me about an hour to do the 12 I was missing.

They really captured the realism. They convict people who are not guilty just because it inflates their numbers, gets them in good with their bosses or have enough evidence to pull it off. They don't care about who actually did the crime.

The marine cut
scenes are horrible.

I found the trick to street crimes. Every time you leave a new area, open up your map. Hit Y for legend and it should show a running man. Then have your partner drive you there. That way you can go 5-8 street crimes per case if you're running out of time. I think the street crimes are super fun.

If you need 30 headshot achievement, try to get them on the street crimes. Just fail them and repeat them until you get all headshots.

I beat you all on % complete. I win.

They put out an update to xbox/game and now it hard locks all the time. Lame.

I'm 13/21 cases. 2 of you are at 72% complete.

Find the hidden vehicles. They put some on your map. Look for a garage door with a shield on it, then enter through a side door with a gold handle. That's the part I didn't figure out.

11 1/2 hours in. I get 3 stars on every case, I think because I hit too many cars and things when I drive around. I have a hard time deciding whether to play this or Mass Effect 2.

Got my copy finally. I'm sucking balls at the interrogation. Even when I have all the evidence I seem to pick the wrong things. I just have no idea what to do.

Update: I demanded my 99 cents shipping refunded and they did it. haha.

BURN: Looks like ordering from Amazon was a mistake:

"Phoenix, AZ, United States 05/16/2011 11:30 P.M. A flight delay occurred because of mechanical reasons. "

"Due to events beyond our control, your package may be delayed by 1 - 2 days. UPS will deliver the package as soon as possible. We're very sorry about this unavoidable delay and we appreciate your patience."

As you can see, UPS sucks balls yet again. Worst shipper. Never do business with them.

I ended up ordering the one from Amazon.com. Don't forget to order quick and you can get it by Shipping day May 17th for 99 cents shipping.

I'm not sure which bonus to buy. Gamestop seems to have the best bonus content. here. The extra mission looks the best + the suit looks the best.

But Amazon gives you $15 credit and release date shipping and is over all $20 cheaper. So is that first content from Gamestop really worth $20? Who knows. $65 at Gamestop with pickup in store. $60 at Amazon + $15 gift certificate and they ship it to you.

Are you calculating the tax you'll pay at Gamestop? Or do you get taxed on Amazon purchases as well?

I try to buy at my local Gamestop if it is within $5 of my online purchase before taxes since they just put one in close to me and the guys have been really good to me in asking their opinions on the latest games.

Okay so I`ve played a few missions after the academy and being the "complete everything 100% perfect ADHD" type of person that I am, I find it annoying I can`t go back and redo stuff but it certainly makes me pay more attention.

BTW once you start playing the game the most frustrating part was figuring out the difference between Doubt and Lie during interrogation. Lie means you have evidence to prove they are lying. Doubt means you think they are lying but you have no proof. Took me a while to understand this.

Really harsh autosave in this one. The interrogations are a bit frustrating due to the vague nature of "doubt". What the hell does that mean, anyway? But the game is good.

It feels like RDR, though, Grand Theft Auto without the ballscrazy stuff to do. It makes me want to put GTA back in, hijack a helicopter and have some fun because I can't do stuff like that in their other games. I don't get why the game is open world.

SPOILER ALERT: Not much of a spoiler since it`s the very first interrogation and they give you a bunch of retries if you mess up but this will give you a good idea of the difference between lie and doubt.

Lie: You know he killed the guy and he says he has no idea what you`re talking about but you have an eye witness account of it, you have proof that someone said he killed the dude.

Doubt: His motives were racially driven, you merely heard that the other dude hates jews, but you have no proof that he did it b/c of that, so you doubt him.

Akebono, the first case was incredibly obvious. The harder part is trying to tell what is truth and what is doubt. It's obvious when someone is lying, because you have evidence to back it up with (otherwise you won't be accusing them of lying). The entire game is based around you being able to tell the difference in facial expressions. That doesn't really work if you don't know the person, or whatever specific tics are.
They could have done the street crimes without being open world. In fact they kind of do, because you can only get them at certain points and times.

I am enjoying the game, but I am also looking at Witcher 2 and wondering if I chose well. I would have preferred a PC game.

The basis of the game is this, first search for clues, that way you have evidence to "prove" certain things later on in the conversation.

Interrogate them, sometimes they really do just tell the truth, but watch for them if they make eye contact or not, stutter, make weird gestures, this probably means they are lying.

If they are lying but you have no proof, hit doubt and try to get more out of them. If they are lying and you do have proof, then click lie, they will respond with "oh really detective, then prove it" at which point you have use your notebook to click to the evidence that you think proves them wrong.

It`s tough b/c you have this huge list of clues you have and if you say lie and you select the wrong clue, you`re screwed and they stop talking about the issue.

Akebono's right. I'm almost done with the game, I believe, and if someone is lying or not giving up the entire truth, they will:
Bite their lips, look to the sides, keep their eyes closed, cross their arms, or be very blunt and hostile, staring straight at you. This last one can be tricky. There's a few people in the game that act like this, and it's hard to tell what they're telling the truth about because they're obviously guilty, yet sure that they'll get away with it.

And if you want to score well during the case, do *not* hit civilians or harm them in any way. Sometimes this is very hard to do because apparently hearing a police siren means "I need to act like a completely maniacal retard right this instant".

haha so true, you realize that`s how people act IRL when they see cops right? My mom was like that, she`d be driving all normal and then she`d see a cop and it was like HOLY FUCK TIME TO PANIC EVEN THOUGH I`M NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG, HURRY JUST PULL OVER AND GET OUT OF THE CAR!!
